10. I have seen a ___________force at work, when __________. Or The force changed the ____________ of the ______________by _________________.

11. Write the name of the student on your paper and why you choose that student: Mrs. Smith did a demonstration for her class. She found the mass of a baseball and a crumpled wad of paper. She then held both at a height of 1 meter above the table top. She dropped both at the same time. The students wrote about the demonstration on the journal pages in the illustration below, Which student is making a hypothesis?
